Rep. Ilhan Omar is outraged and offended. As usual.
United States House Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, a Democrat, called Friday for House leaders to take “appropriate action” against Colorado Republican Representative Lauren Boebert for using anti-Muslim language in describing a recent encounter she had with Omar at the US Capitol.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other House Democratic leaders demanded Boebert retract her comments.
Has Pelosi demanded that Omar retract any of her antisemitic comments?
According to a video clip posted by a Twitter account called PatriotTakes, Boebert made the remarks this holiday break. In it, she says she and a staffer were taking a Capitol elevator when she saw an alarmed Capitol police officer running toward them. She said she turned to her left and spotted Omar standing beside them.
“Well, she doesn’t have a backpack. We should be fine,” Boebert recalled saying, drawing laughs from her audience. “And I said, ‘Oh look, the jihad squad decided to show up for work today.’”
The Jihad Squad is not amused.
“Saying I am a suicide bomber is no laughing matter,” Omar tweeted. “@GOPLeader and @SpeakerPelosi need to take appropriate action, normalizing this bigotry not only endangers my life but the lives of all Muslims. Anti-Muslim bigotry has no place in Congress.”
Some people said something, as Rep. Omar once observed.
But if Omar is offended by the suggestion, maybe she should stop playing into it.
Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar, in a newly resurfaced clip of an old interview, joked about people saying “Al Qaeda” and “Hezbollah” in a severe tone — while noting nobody says words like “America” that way.
“When I was in college, I took a terrorism class. … The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up,” Omar said during an interview from 2013 when she was an activist within the Somali community, chuckling as she imitated the professor saying “Al Qaeda” and “Hezbollah.”
Omar went on to contrast the way people say the names of terror groups with how they pronounce the names of western powers:
“But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “… But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.”
Omar says things like this a lot.
On Monday, Ms Omar tweeted that “we have seen unthinkable atrocities committed by the US, Hamas, Israel, Afghanistan, and the Taliban”.
Ms. Omar is deeply offended at being compared to Hamas, the Taliban, and the U.S.
Jim says
Ilhan should be voted out in the next election. But it seems unlikely.
Wellington says
She’s evil.
This has always been my starting point with this horrible excuse for a human being and to date I have had no evidence produced to me to think otherwise.
maria says
She is the evil snake, she is dangerous, liar and she doesn´t behave like a human being
somehistory says
This looks very much like the article I posted yesterday after reading it in The Washington Standard. Hmmmm….?
She’s a terrorist.
She came into this country under false pretenses. Her dear old dad was a criminal; found out that his last name…elmi…was on a list of no-entry, and that omar was a name of people being allowed to come here…so he changed his name and that of his children…including the little witch, ilhan elmi.
She has supported the mb…a terror org, she has raised money for c.a.i.rats…the un-indicted co-conspirators in the Holy Land foundation trial for funding hamas; she wanted the terrorists here to get off, with light or no jail time;
she has made anti-Israel statements and pro-*pali* statements and the so-called palestinians are known for their acts of terror, paying terrorists and their families and teaching little kids to hate and sing about murdering Jews.
If the shoes fit, she should wear them….she can get on a plane and try what that mozlum from the U.K., r. reed, did to show her solidarity with those who murder for islam.
Walter Sieruk says
Ilan Omar sure has some gall, Islamic gall, to say that she’s offended by “being compared to terrorists.” What else that be expected when he willing has connections and friendship with officials of CAIR which associates with violent murderous Islamic terrorists organizations Hezbollah and Hamas .
Omar has ,at time , even identifies with and agrees with members of some of those two menacing and deadly muslim terror entities.
In addition to all this even an American imam had in an interview spoke of who subversive and dangerous that he even referred to her as “ISIS with lipstick ” [1]

mike says
Omar dishes it out but can’t take it. Just exactly what Islam does blame everyone else for that they do themselves (Islam)
Don McKellar says
Her and that entire “squad” are the current face of terrorism. They’re doing everything they can to harm American citizens. About the only way that’s going to change to get the spotlight off her is for some of those Afghan terrorists who were mass imported to hatch a few of those revenge attacks they are 100% certainly planning.
Graham Bryant says
This muslim woman is evil but her day is comind soon!!
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
Let’s hope, Graham. Such a sensitive soul to be associated with such a violent political ideology.

If Ilhan Omar is Offended by Being Compared to Terrorists, Maybe She Should Stop Comparing America to Terrorists
Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar, in a newly resurfaced clip of an old interview, joked about people saying “Al Qaeda” and “Hezbollah” in a severe tone — while noting nobody says words like “America” that way.
“When I was in college, I took a terrorism class. … The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up,” Omar said during an interview from 2013 when she was an activist within the Somali community, chuckling as she imitated the professor saying “Al Qaeda” and “Hezbollah.”
………..
Just despicable. This body language–shoulders tensing–is indicative of a defensive reaction. In other words, she finds it amusing that this professor was (perhaps subconsciously) mildly frightened by the thought of Jihad terrorism.
This is a prefectly reasonable reaction. What a vicious thug Ilhan Omar is–I still can’t believe she is a US Congressperson. *Ugh*. She may or may not be a terrorist herself, but she certainly supports terrorism, as this shows.
john smith says
There is no doubt about it Ilhan Omar is a hardcore jihadi, who is using her position to destroy America. She is the classic example of what they call “the enemy within”.
I long for the day when the western world wakes up to such people, but sadly that day is a long way off.
Jim says
All the despicable people act like they were innocent, because they expect to never be taken to account for their violations of moral s and laws. That is why they act as though the world owed them an apology.
notnolib says
I’d like to know if she is a proper pious muslima. Or is she like some western pig sporting a clitoris?
allahu’s snackbar!!
Hank says
I guess what you are trying to refer to is the disgusting Muslim practice of FGM. This again shows what a silly, idiotic, wicked and satanic religion Islam is. This practice on children without consent irreversibly robs them for the rest of their adult lives of a normal fulfilled life, marriage, and forever robs Muslim women of having a normal marital relationship with their husband.
Circumcision In the Abrahamic Covenant is for males only. It does not mutilate and sexually handicap a human being. It has a symbolic meaning of belonging that does not ruin the adult life of males.
If Ilhan Omar was a victim of FGM as a child then she knows that she gets nothing out of her one-sided Islamic marriage. How can a woman or any clueless “feminist” support, backup, sympathize or in any way be pro-Islam???
scherado says
Well, she’s certainly right that “it’s no laughing matter,” to be called a suicide bomber.
OLD GUY says
Thats right Omar you are the victim, mostly of your own stupid doing. I’am proud of our American charity to bring you out of a refugee camp, provide you with basic human needs and then educate you and elect you to Congress. After all that help you spit in the face of the American people with your anti America and pro-islamic rhetoric and actions. SHAME ON YOU, you ungrateful BITCH.
Rarely says
There is plenty to criticize Omar about. This should be done in a more appropriate manner than was done here. Of course she’s not a suicide bomber (at least not a very successful one). Certainly she may sympathize with terrorists and that should be attacked head on. It would be nice if someone would take her and her beliefs to town but not by bigoted, stereotypical jokes.

“United States House Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, a Democrat, ”
? C’est vrai? Mais c’est quoi ce Parti de “démocrates”? Un parti d’antisémites?
“On Monday, Ms Omar tweeted that “we have seen unthinkable atrocities

Israël? Les Juifs israéliens n’èont jamais égorgés les gens dans la rue ni en
Israël ni en Europe! J’aimerais bien l’avoir face à moi cette malade à enfermer!?
Qu’elle ferme donc sa grande gueule de folle antisémite!
Qu’elle retourne dans le bled qu’ils n’auraient jamais dû quitter!
Walter Sieruk says
Ilan Omar has much audacity to complain about being compared to a terrorist. Especially after saying that terribly callous uncaring statement about those horrendous murderous jihadists affronts with occurred on September 11, 2001.
For Omar referring to those mass- murderer and much destruction which happened on 9/11 ,she said that’s result of “Some people did something”
Likewise, a Muslim cleric who called 9/11 a “comedy film” is terribly heartless and cruel ,this is a further reminder that on the day of September 9 2016 some man I know who works as a security guard at a public place told me a Muslim actually had the nerve to walk over to him and said to him two Muslim “Jokes” about 9/11. As if it was a funny subject. It’s wrong to even try to “joke” about 9/11. Talk about bad “jokes” those two are the very much worst of all. The first was “What is the difference between September 11, 20001 and a cow?” answer “You don’t keep milking a cow after fifteen years.” Not only is that “joke” awful but those Muslims trying to be funny by say that cruel thing do have some gall because they have no room to talk . For they are still are “milking” the topic of the crusades and the crusades have been over for well more than seven hundred years. What gall they have !
The second “Muslim “joke” about 9/11 is “On September 11, 2001 the people trapped on the upper floors of the WTC had ordered their pizza sent two of them plane.” To say that such “humor” is terrible is an understatement. Furthermore, those two plane . Muslim who say those “jokes” are really only exposing their own sick, vicious, callous and heartless Islamic mindset.”
